I believe it's the current Apple TV version, and we added Peacock and Max apps, but when I go to another smart TV and log into my Apple TV account, those two apps aren't there. How do I watch those subscribed channels on other TVs? Was thinking about adding DirecTV, but I would need to be able to watch on other TVs in the house.

An Apple TV+ subscription would be linked to your Apple ID account. It would then be available on any of your devices with the Apple TV app, when signed in with the matching Apple ID account. Including another TV.
Then is no limit to the number of devices where you can sign in, but there are limits for simultaneous streams.
Use it on your own devices. Do not share your account credentials. Apple IDs are individual. For sharing, there is a better way: Apple Family Sharing.
How exactly did you add Peacock and Max?
Are they downloadable stand alone apps from the App Store?
Or did you start a subscription to the channels inside the Apple TV app?
For the first option, you would need to download the Apps on the other TVs from their own App store, and sign in with the account used with them.
For the second option, Apple TV channels are not available in the Apple TV app on non-Apple devices.
I access Apple TV shows and both Max and Peacock shows thru the Apple TV app and the 3 Gen Apple TV box connected to a Samsung TV. I pay and subscribe to Max thru my Apple account, but I do not see it when I use that Apple TV app on another smart TV. Probably the Max app was not from the Apple app store. Checking this morning, I do not pay for Peacock thru my Apple account, so I just need to download the Peacock app on other smart TVs.
I guess I could cancel the Peacock account and download and re-subscribe thru my Apple account, but I'd lose history, so I think I'll leave it where it is working fine.
